Hi!
The topic explains pretty much what I'm trying to do under Python
2.7[1]. The reason for this is that I want dir(SomeType) to show the
attributes in the order of their declaration. This in turn should
hopefully make unittest execute my tests in the order of their
declaration[2], so that the output becomes more readable and structured,
just as my test code (hopefully) is.
IMO that's a futile effort, first, because as you already know, the test
should not rely on the order. If you want the result to be printed in a
certain order, that's a display issue, not testing order issue.
I'm not sure if you just -ahem- enjoy Usenet discussions, but please
read the footnote that explains that I don't want to discuss this part
and why you are actually wrong with your partial understanding of the
issue. ;^)

True, perhaps, but doing it this way would be more fun and easier
reusable in other cases where the default order is not desirable. I can
also go and name the test functions test_000 to test_009 to get results
quickly, if that was the only goal.
Cheers!
